In war snipers are trying to work with groups. Their actions are governed spotters, observers. Kolotov has refused such scheme of action. His target was militants at which he opened a real hunt.

Russian radio operators often listened to the conversations of the militants on the radio. This allowed them to learn how dangerous a sniper from Yakutia. One day it could kill up to 30 militants. The sniper was famous for a particular handwriting. He killed the gunmen in the eye, accurately and instantly.

His head is promised incredible rewards – up to $ 30,000, and the Shamil Basayev offered the star of the Hero of Chechnya, but the sniper was still at large. For Volodya akutai the hunt began. The only sniper Abubakar was able to track him down and hurt, but it was not fatal. The offender Volodya Yakut severely punished.
